Salifert Calcium Test Kit

Calcium is a major constituent of calcareous algae, skeletal material of hard corals and the skeletal needles of soft / leather corals. Calcium also fulfills many biological functions. Low calcium concentration retards coral and calcareous algae growth. Natural saltwater contains 400 ‰ÛÒ 450 mg/L calcium. In a stable aquarium environment the calcium content should not fluctuate by more than 15 mg/L. Calcium test kits should be able to monitor comparable fluctuations. In a healthy aquarium growth and multiplication of corals, desired calcareous algae and other organisms results in calcium depletion. Use of a calcium additive together with an accurate test kit are important for monitoring and maintaining proper calcium levels. Salifert‰۪s calcium test is capable in resolving the calcium content in 10 mg/L steps. The color change is sharp and facilitates the detection of small but highly significant fluctuations in the calcium concentration. The kit can perform approx. 50 - 100 measureme
